What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with it's film of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness !; and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums' - the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
J. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and I think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action,' is the concise testimony
of DIR. George E. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
"Ayer's Pills outsell all similar prep
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others" Berry,

There is no more wisdom in combining
poultry exclusively to erain diet
than in keeping animals on food de-
void of bulk. In the growing season
the hens eat grass, grain, seeds and
in winter they may be given more
bulky food than they usually receive,
and at a less cost than that of feeding
grain exclusively, IF clover hay be
finely cut, boiling water be poured ov
er it, and the mess we'll sprinkled with
a mixture of ground grain, and sea-
soned with little salt, they eat it
willingly, and it affords an agreeable
variety. The clover also largely as
sists in supplying albumen to the eggs,
while the health of the fowls is pro-
NOTED by the food not being very
concentrated. No doubt some may
consider such feed as suitable only for
a COW or horse, but it is also good for
poultry. IF hens are kept on corn
they become exceedingly fat, and as
unfit for laying as an over fat animal
is for breeding, but feed them on
variety which contains more of the
flesh forming elements than the car
bonaceous, and they give better re-
suits. As the stock should be kept
warm and comfortable, so sbold the
fowls. 1t is much cheaper to provide
suitable quarters than to keep them
from freezing by stufing with corn
They will also eat dry hay, if cut into
short lengths; but it is better to feed
it moistensd and ADMINISTRATION

The farmer who has a hundred
bales of cotton piled up under his shed
may strike the passer-by as thriving
son OF the soil, but he who has his
cribs loaded down with corn, and his
smoke house redolent with sweet hams
and cured bacon is a better farmer
and a richer man than the one with
his factors claims unsettled, and no
provisions on which to feed his family
and stock. The successful farmer is
he who makes what he needs to eat

THE OLDEST TREE IN EURoPE.-Thej
oldest tree on record in Europe is asserted
to be the Cypress of Somma, in Lombar-I
dy, Italy. This tree is believed to have
been in existence at the time of julius
Caesar, forty-tWo years B. c., and is there
fore l oil years old. It is lO6 feet in
height and twenty feet in circumference
W. When 1 laying aUi % down his plan for the great|
road over the simplon, diverged from a
straight line to avoid injuring this tree.
Superior antiquity is claimed for the inn

ia. This is supposed, from the number OF
concentric circles in the trunk, to be 1868
years old.

CHAPTER VII.

A week had passed at Eagles Court-a
week of mingled clouds and sunshine by day,
of rain over the green plateau and snow on
the mountain by night Each morning had
brought its fresh greenness to the winter girt
domain and fresh coat Of dazzling white to
the barrier that separated its dwellers from
the world beyond. There was little change
in the encompassing wall of their prison; if
anything, the snowy circle round them
seemed to have drawn its lines nearer day by
day. The immediate result Of this restricted
limit had been to confine the range of cattle
to the meadows nearer the house, and at a
safe distance from the fringe of wilderness
now invaded by the prowling tread of preda-
tory animals
Nevertheless, the two figures lounging on
the slope at sunset gave very little indication
of any serious quality in the situation. In
deed, so far as appearances were concerned,
Kate, who was returning from all afternoon
stroll with Falkner, exhibited, with feminine
inconsistency, decided return to the world
of fashion and conventionality just as she was
effectually excluded from it. She had not
only discarded her white dress as a concession
to the practical evidence of the surrounding
winter, but she had also brought out feather
hat and sable muff which had once graced a

@One of the most remarkable
formations of common salt in this
country, and in the world, is that on
the Island Of Petite Anse, 125 miles
west of New Orleans. 1t was dis
covered in 1862 while sinking a well
and was Immediately siezed by JEFF
ferson Davis as a Confederates supply.
The salt is underground at depth
ranging from ten to twenty-three
feet. One hundred and fifty acres
have, up to the present time been
traced, and a depth of 40 feet been
reached. The salt is taken out in
massive crystalline blocks, and is of
the clearest white appearance. 1t is
nearly chemically pure, contains9 99.Ss
per cent. pure salt, the remaining
fraction of a per cent. being gypsum
and chloride of lime. The mines are
owned by the Avery family, and are
worked by a New York firm, which
pays $4,000 per month As a royalty.

PATMOS NOW,

Before the Christian era the name of
Patmos only occurs in. a few passages of
ancient writers, and of its history, if it
had one, nothing is known; it was when
it became the place of Punishment of ST..
John the Divine, and the scene of his apo
calyptic vision, that it once for all attract
ed the attention of mankind. At the
present day it is one of the least accessible
of the Egean islands, for owing to it's re-
mote position and the unproductiveness Of
its soil no steamers ever touch there.
Long before we arrived, the monastery of
St. John, which is the most conspicuous
building in the island, had been in sight,
crowning the summit of high hill, like a
vast sombre castle, with the white houses
of the town clustered round it.; behind
this rose the peak of Hagios Elias, which
reaches the elevation of more than 300
feet. The scala, or village at the landing
place, has very peculiar aspect, for each
of the small tWo-storied houses of which
it is composed resembles square, hat-top-
ped box, as white as whiteWash can make
it. This mode of building prevails
throughout this island, and, as we after
wards found, in those that lie to the South
ward of it.
In shape Patmos may be roughly de-
scribed as forming crescent, the horns Of
which face Eastward but its outline is
broken by innumerable promOntOries en-
closing landlocked creeks, so that, when
seen from above, itpresents somewhat the
aspect of a strange polypus. Its length
from North to South is about eight miles,
and its area is rugged and broken; but the
most marked popularity is that it is al
most divided In two in the middle, for in
this part, within distance of little more
than half mile from one another, are two
isthmuses only few hundred yards wide,
and rising but slightly above the sea-level.
On the Southermost Of these the scala is
situated, while between the two stands the
steep hill on which the acropoliS Of the
Hellenic city was built. The narrow
waist thus formed serves for boundary
line to determine the domain Of the mon
astery, for while the Southern half of the
island belongs to the monks, the Northern
part is the possession of the civil commu-
nifty. At the time of the foundation of
the convent no women were allowed to
pass this limit, but within short time
the restriction had to be abandoned. The
soil of which the island is composed is
everywhere volcanic and very barren, and
its coasts are tianked by red and gray
rocks, which ever and anon break into
quaint pinnacles. The absence of rum
ming water is shown by the numerous
wind-mills, and there are only three or
four wells in the whole area the want of
these, however, is made up for by cisterns,
and the inhabitants are never obliged to
import water, as sometimes happens in
Santorin. The male population are chief
ly employed in the sponge fishery, which
is carried on in many of the Sporades.
The island is most commonly known by
its medieval name of Patino, in like
manner as Astypalaea is still called Astro-
palaa, and Carpathos Scarpanto.-Co'res-
pondeM Of the Acadeny.

DEADLY ELECTRICITY.-Thre or four
of US were watching an English sparrow
picking up his breakfast the other morn

er and flew up to the electric wire over
head to eat it. He alighted on space
where the insulating covering had met
with an accident and been stripped off
and his feet had no sooner touched the
wire than down he came, dead as stone:
When we picked up the body it had a
pulpy freling, as if every bone had BEEN
broken. It was striking proof, even on
small scale, of the vindictive current
which buzzes and flashes and leaps ova
and around US, ready at the slightest pro
vocation to strike victim with the chill
of death.-DetrOH Free Press.

Do BIRDS FLY Down? ?-I see, in back.
number of ST. Nicholas, that one of your

in regard to birds flying down. But all

I doubt if l can add anything to their
knowledge.
However, have seen California quail,

wings and heavy bodies, the wings are
used more or less as parachutes in going
down; in other words, the birds spread
